1994 Opel Astra wagon review from Bosnia and Herzegovina
"Surprised by the car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radio.
Light bulbs ;o)
General comments?
Bought this car only to go camping and thought to sell it after that.
Very good, comfortable and reliable car.
So far I had zero problems with it. Drives nice, very good fuel consumption on open road 100km - 5.6 to 7 liters depending how I drive not that good in city around 9 to 10 liters.
Very spacious (it's station wagon ;o), comfortable and with relatively good power. After really long trips I'm not too tired but I think seats are a bit hard for my taste.
1.6 ecotec engine surprised me. I thought that because the car is heavy 1.6 won't be good for overtaking but I was wrong. On highway top speed I had is 180 km but fuel consumption is terrible.
Only big minus for the car is lack of aircondition.
Overall I am so so pleased with this car that I decided to by new Opel Vectra.
(when I say I'm pleased with the car it is understatement. I'm delighted, car never ever had even one problem. Just sit and drive)
